Mouthguards

Date Posted: 12/1/2001

Question
How much will a custom fitted mouthguard cost?

Answer
The cost of providing a mouthguard will vary from dentist to dentist, but would be no more than the latest pair of sporting shoes. It would be best to contact your local dentist to find out their charges. But remember, whatever the cost, it will be minimal compared with the cost of repairing broken teeth with bonding, root canal treatment or crown and bridge work, not to mention the heartache and inconvenience.
